Abstract: | One dimension of law that all practising lawyers must face is handling relationships with clients. Traditionally this was not considered as something that could or should be researched. Recently, however, sociologists, linguists and other social scientists working within the area of socio-legal studies have paid a lot of attention to lawyers' interactions with their clients. Their studies highlight important aspects of the processes involved, particularly the relationship between power and representation. Yet they also suffer from deficiencies, which partly derive from their hidden theoretical and methodological assumptions. This paper aims to review and critique these studies, in the hope that the resulting insights may stimulate more reflection by the profession on this important aspect of advocacy. |
